In the past ten days, many of my colleagues and local journalists have been trying their best to cover the Lamma ferry tragedy, sometimes with tears in their eyes.

However, according to an opinion piece on yesterday’s SCMP, it looks like that some local TV reporters raised improper questions when interviewing disaster victims and stand accused of “feeding off” the tragedy.

It is never easy to cover violence or natural disasters. That’s why the resources provided by the Dart Centre are always valuable to our journalists, from which we can learn to better our jobs.
